Borel sets
Let (X, d) be a metric space. The Borel -algebra (-field) B = B(X) is the
smallest -algebra in X that contains all open subsets of X. The elements of B
are called the Borel sets of X.
The metric space (X, d) is called separable if it has a countable dense subset,
that is, there are x1 , x2 , . . . in X such that {x1 , x2 , . . .} = X. (A denotes the
closure of A X.)
Lemma 1.1. If X is a separable metric space, then B(X) equals the -algebra
generated by the open (or closed) balls of X.
Proof. Denote
A := -algebra generated by the open (or closed) balls of X.
Clearly, A B.
Let D be a countable dense set in X. Let U X be open. For x U take
r > 0, r Q such that B(x, r) U (B(x, r) open or closed ball with center x
and radius r) and take yx D B(x, r/3). Then x B(yx , r/2) B(x, r). Set
rx := r/2. Then
U = {B(yx , rx ) : x U },
which is a countable union. Therefore U A. Hence B A.
Lemma 1.2. Let (X, d) be a separable metric space. Let C B be countable.
If C separates closed balls from points in the sense that for every closed ball B
and every x X \ B there exists C C such that B C and x C, then the
-algebra generated by C is the Borel -algebra.
Proof. Clearly (C) B, where (C) denotes the -algebra generated by C. Let
B be a closed ball in X. Then B = {C C : B C}, which is a countable
intersection and hence a member of (C). By the previous lemma we obtain
B (C).
If f : S T and AS and AT are -algebras in S and T , respectively, then f is
called measurable (w.r.t. AS and AT ) if
f 1 (A) = {x S : f (x) A} AS for all A AT .

Proposition 1.3. Let (X, d) be a metric space. B(X) is the smallest -algebra
with respect to which all (real valued) continuous functions on X are measurable
(w.r.t. B(X) and B(R)).

Lemma 2.2. If is a finite Borel measure on X and A is a collection of
mutually disjoint Borel sets of X, then at most countably many elements of A
have nonzero -measure.
Proof. For m 1, let Am := {A A : (A) > 1/m}. For any distinct
A1 , . . . , Ak Am we have

is countable.
Example. If is a finite Borel measure on R, then ({t}) = 0 for all except at
most countably many t R.
Proposition 2.3. Any finite Borel measure on X is regular, that is, for every

Conclusion: R is a -algebra that contains all open sets, so R B.
Corollary 2.4. If and are finite Borel measures on the metric space X and
(A) = (A) for all closed A (or all open A), then = .
A finite Borel measure on X is called tight if for every > 0 there exists a
compact set K X such that (X \ K) < , or, equivalently, (K) (X) .
A tight finite Borel measure is also called a Radon measure.
Corollary 2.5. If is a tight finite Borel measure on the metric space X, then
(A) = sup{(K) : K A, K compact}
for every Borel set A in X.
Proof. Take for every > 0 a compact set K such that (X \ K ) < . Then
(A K ) = (A \ Kc ) (A) (Kc ) > (A)
and
(A K ) = sup{(C) : C K A, C closed}
sup{(K) : K A, K compact},
Proof. ) Clear: the covering with all -balls with centers in K has a finite
subcovering.
) Let (xn )n be a sequence in K. For each m 1 there are finitely many
1/m-balls that cover K, at least one of which contains xn for infinitely many
n. For m = 1 take a ball B1 with radius 1 such that N1 := {n : xn B1 }
is infinite, and take n1 N1 . Take a ball B2 with radius 1/2 such that
N2 := {n > n1 : xn B2 B1 } is infinite, and take n2 N2 . Take B3 , radius
1/3, N3 := {n > n2 : xn B3 B2 B1 } infinite, n3 N3 . And so on.
Thus (xnk )k is a subsequence of (xn )n and since xnell Bk for all k,
(xnk )k is a Cauchy sequence. As X is complete, (xn )n converges in X and as
K is closed, the limit is in K. So (xn )n has a convergent subsequence and K is
compact.
Proof of Theorem 2.6. We have to prove that for every > 0 there exists a
compact set K such that (X \ K) < . Let D = {a1 , a2 , . . .} be a countable
dense subset of X. Then for each > 0, k=1 B(ak , ) = X. Hence (X) =

Theorem 4.2. If (X, d) is a separable metric space, then for any , 1 , 2 , . . .
P(X) one has

For the proof we need a lemma on existence of special coverings with small balls.

Proof. Let D be a countable dense set in X. Let x D. Let S(x, r) := {y
X : d(y, x) = r}. Observe that the boundary of the open or closed ball centered
at x and with radius r is contained in S(x, r). Given > 0, the collection

Prokhorovs theorem
Let (X, d) be a metric space and let P(X) be the set of Borel probability measures on X. Endow P(X) with the Prokhorov metric induced by d.
In the study of limit behavior of stochastic processes one often needs to
know when a sequence of random variables is convergent in distribution or, at
least, has a subsequence that converges in distribution. This comes down to
finding a good description of the sequences in P(X) that have a convergent
subsequence or rather of the relatively compact sets of P(X). Recall that a
subset S of a metric space is called relatively compact if its closure S is compact.
13
The following theorem by Yu.V. Prokhorov [7] gives a useful description of the
relatively compact sets of P(X) in case X is separable and complete. Let us
first attach a name to the equivalent condition.
Definition 5.1. A set of Borel probability measures on X is called tight if
for every > 0 there exists a compact subset K of X such that
(K) 1 for all .
(Also other names and phrases are in use instead of is tight: is uniformly
tight, satisfies Prokhorovs condition, is uniformly Radon, and maybe
more).
Remark. We have shown already: if (X, d) is a complete separable metric space,
then {} is tight for each P(X) (see Theorem 2.6).
Theorem 5.2 (Prokhorov). Let (X, d) be a complete separable metric space
and let be a subset of P(X). Then the following two statements are equivalent:
(a) is compact in P(X).
(b) is tight.
Let us first remark here that completeness of X is not needed for the implication
(b)(a). The proof of the theorem is quite involved. We start with the more
straightforward implication (a)(b).
Proof of (a)(b). Claim: If U1 , U2 , . . . are open sets in X that cover X and if
> 0, then there exists a k 1 such that
k
(
i=1
Ui )
i=1
lim inf kj (
j
Ui )
i=1
kj
lim inf kj (
j
i=1
Ui ) 1 .
n
But
i=1 Ui = X, so ( i=1 Ui ) (X) = 1 as n , which is a contradiction. Thus the claim is proved.
Now let > 0 be given. Take D = {a1 , a2 , . . .} dense in X. For every m 1
the open balls B(ai , 1/m), i = 1, 2, . . ., cover X, so by the claim there is a km
such that
km
i=1
for all .
Take
km
K :=
B(ai , 1/m).
m=1 i=1
Then K is closed and for each > 0 we can take m > 1/ and obtain K
km
i=1 B(ai , ), so that K is totally bounded. Hence K is compact, since X is
complete. Moreover, for each
(X \ K) =
B(ai , 1/m)
m=1
km
i=1
km
m=1
i=1
=
m=1
B(ai , 1/m)
km
B(ai , 1/m)
i=1
2m = .
<
m=1
Hence is tight.
The proof that condition (b) implies (a) is more difficult. We will follow the
proof from [6], which is based on compactifications and the Riesz representation
theorem. The latter will be discussed in a later section and, accordingly, we
invoke it with almost no explanation here.
Observe that if X is a compact metric space, every set of Borel probability
measures on X is tight, so that in particular P(X) itself is tight. Thus, the
implication (b)(a) entails the assertion that P(X) is compact whenever X is
compact. We choose the latter as an important intermediate step in the proof
of (b)(a).
Proposition 5.3. If (X, d) is a compact metric space, then (P(X), dP ) is a
compact metric space. (Note that any compact metric space is separable.)
Proof. (Revisited in Corollary 6.8.) As X is compact, Cb (X) = C(X) = {f :
X R : f is continuous}, which is a Banach space under the supremum norm
defined by
f = sup |f (x)|.

Lemma 5.4. If (X, d) is a separable metric space, then there exist a compact
metric space (Y, ) and a map T : X Y such that T is a homeomorphism
from X onto T (X).
(T is in general not an isometry. If it were, then X complete T (X) complete
T (X) Y closed T (X) compact, which is not true for, e.g., X = R.)
Proof. Let Y := [0, 1]N = {(i )
i=1 : i [0, 1] i} and
(, ) :=
i=1
2i |i i |,
, Y.
Then is a metric on Y , its topology is the topology of coordinatewise convergence, and (Y, ) is compact.
Let D = {a1 , a2 , . . .} be dense in X and define
i (x) := min{d(x, ai ), 1},
x X, i = 1, 2, . . . .

Theorem 6.6. Let (X, d) be a compact metric space. For a finite Borel measure
on X let (f ) := f d, f C(X), and let T be the map . Then
(1) T ( + ) = T () + T () and T (c) = cT () for all finite Borel measures
and on X and all c 0,
(2) T is a sequential homeomorphism from { : finite Borel measure on X}
onto { C(X) : positive} with the weak* topology, and T (P(X)) =
{ Cb (X) : = 1, positive},
(3) T extends uniquely to a linear sequential homeomorphism from the signed
Borel measures on X onto C(X) with the weak* topology.
Remark. One can show that C(X) is separable if X is compact and metrizable
([5, 7.S(d), p. 245]) and one can derive from the separability of C(X) that {
C(X) : 1} is metrizable ([3, Theorem V.5.1, p. 426]). Therefore T in the
above theorem is a homeomorphism and not only a sequential homeomorphism.
We are now in a position to have a closer look at the proof of Proposition 5.3.
Theorem 6.7. Let (X, d) be a metric space. Then
(1) B := { Cb (X) : 1} is weak* compact (Alaoglus theorem, see
[3, Theorem V.4.2, p. 424]),
(2) { Cb (X) : = 1, is positive} is weak* closed in B .
20
{ Cb (X) : = 1, is positive}
= { Cb (X) : 1, ( ) = 1, (f ) 0, f Cb (X) s.t. f 0}
= { B : ( ) = 1}
{ B : (f ) 0}.
f Cb (X), f 0
Since (f ) is weak* continuous for all f Cb (X), this set is weak* closed
in B .
Corollary 6.8. If (X, d) is a compact metric space, then (P(X), dP ) is a compact metric space.
Proof. The map T : P(X) { C(X) : = 1, positive} =: is a
sequential homeomorphism with respect to the weak* topology on . By the
previous theorem, is weak* compact, hence sequentially weak* compact. So
P(X) is sequentially compact. As P(X) is a metric space, P(X) is compact.
As we are mainly interested in metric spaces that are not compact, it is natural
for us to study an extension of the Riesz representation theorem to non-compact
spaces. Such an extension can be obtained by means of a compactification of
the space.
The compactification of Lemma 5.4 has the advantage of being metrizable,
but it is not suitable for the present purposes. We have to step outside metric
topology for a moment. We want a connection between the continuous functions
on the compactification and the bounded continuous functions on the original

(b) For every > 0 there exists a compact K X such that |(f )| for all
f Cb (X) with f 1 and f = 0 on K.
(c) The restriction of to the unit ball B = {f Cb (X) : f 1} is
continuous with respect to the topology of uniform convergence on compact
sets.
If (a) holds, then the measure is unique.
Proof. The proof of the uniqueness is routine. It also follows from the denseness
theorem in Section 8.
(a)(c): Let (fi )iI be a net in B and let f B be such that fi f
uniformly on compact sets. Let > 0. We want to show that there is an i0 I
such that |(fi ) (f )| < for all i I with i i0 . Since is tight, there is a
compact K X with (X \ K) < /3. Then fi f uniformly on K, so there
is an i0 I such that
|fi f | < /(3(K) + 1) on K for all i i0 .
Then for i i0 ,

of (N) and 0 is a positive bounded linear functional on c. Let
p(x) := max{lim sup x(k), 0},
k
(N).
Then p(x + y) p(x) + p(y) and p(x) = p(x) for all x, y (N), 0.
Further, 0 (x) p(x) for all x c. Hence by the Hahn-Banach theorem (see
[3, II.3.10, p. 62]) there exists a linear functional : (N) R that extends
0 and such that (x) p(x) for all x (N). Then |(x)| |p(x)| x
for all x (N) so is bounded, and for x (N) with x 0 we have
(x) = (x) p(x) = 0, so is positive.
Let now
xn := {n,n+1,...} c, n = 1, 2, . . . .
Then (xn ) = 0 (xn ) = 1 for all n, but for any finite Borel measure on N we
have xn d 0 as n , since xn 0 pointwise and 0 xn for all n.
Hence cannot be represented by a finite Borel measure.
Let (X, d) be a metric space and let be a finite Borel measure on X. Is Cb (X)
dense in L1 ()? The answer is positive and we can show more. Let

with respect to d}.

Corollary 8.3. Let (X, d) be a metric space and let and be finite Borel

Let (X, d) be a metric space, let P(X) be the set of Borel probability measures
on X, and let dP be the Prokhorov metric on P(X) as defined in Section 4.
With aid of Prokhorovs theorem we can show that (P(X), dP ) is complete if
(X, d) is complete (cf. [7, Lemma 1.4, p. 169]).
Lemma 9.1. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and let P(X). In order

then (P(X), dP ) is complete.
Proof. Let (k )k be a Cauchy sequence in (P(X), dP ). We will show that {k :

for k = 1, . . . , N . By the previous lemma it follows that the set {k : k =
1, 2, . . .} is tight and therefore relatively compact in P(X) by Prokhorovs theorem. Hence there is a subsequence (ki )i that converges to some P(X).
As (k )k is Cauchy it follows that k . Thus, (P(X), dP ) is complete.

y (A) x (A ) + ,
This is only possible if S consists of one point, but that yields a contradiction.
Hence there is a subsequence and an x X such that xnk x. By (2),
xn x , so = x .
With aid of the above proposition we can add the only if counterparts to
Proposition 5.3 and Theorem 9.2.
Theorem 9.4. Let (X, d) be a separable metric space.
